vision
Great visions are cast one on one.
believe focus proactive
I believe that everyone chooses how to approach life. If you're proactive, you focus on preparing. If you're reactive, you end up focusing on repairing.
order giving leader
Effective leaders don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.
book taken bad-relationship
I say this in the book [Today Matters], we either spend our day repairing or preparing, and if I haven't taken good care of my today's, they accumulate. So all of a sudden today what I'm doing is I'm going back, I'm repairing bad relationships and wrong decisions, and I'm digging a hole. I'm not making any progress because I'm in a repairing mode, versus if I really make today count that prepares me for tomorrow. Tomorrow really will take care of itself if I do the right thing today.
believe keys people
Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.
leader conviction ability
If you don't have the ability to see when to stand up and the conviction to do it, you'll never be an effective leader.
passion ninety-nine giving
Passion gives you an advantage over others, because one person with passion is greater than ninety-nine who have only an interest!
leadership people way
Connecting is the ability to identify with people and relate to them in a way that increases your influence with them.
destination
Success is not a destination thing, it’s a daily thing.
leader complacency lists
Of all the things a leader should fear, complacency heads the list.
thinking problem no-problem
I don't think every person is going to have the same twelve, but I think out of the twelve I have, nine of them every person will have. Three of them are a little bit of an option, but I say go get your own three, it's no problem.
journey matter next
No matter where you are in your leadership journey, never forget that what got you to where you are won't get you to the next level.
attitude successful men
Attitude is the first quality that marks the successful man. If he has a positive attitude and is a positive thinker, who likes challenges and difficult situations, then he has half his success achieved.
levels influence individual
You can be a model to the masses, but to go to the higher levels of influence, you have to work with individuals.
